You won’t owe us a cent unless we win.

What Bicycle Accident Victims Need to Know

Car accidents can happen in an instant, but their impact lasts for months or even years. Understanding your rights and the legal process is the first step toward getting the compensation you deserve.

Understanding fault matters. In most states where Phoong Law operates, the driver who caused the accident is responsible for damages. Their insurance company should cover your medical bills, lost income, and other losses, but getting them to pay fairly is rarely straightforward.

Time limits apply. Every state has a statute of limitations for personal injury claims. In California, it’s generally 2 years. In Nevada, it’s also 2 years. In Texas, the deadline is likewise 2 years. Missing your deadline could mean losing your right to compensation entirely.

Common causes include distracted driving, speeding, driving under the influence, running red lights, and unsafe lane changes. No matter what caused your crash, if someone else’s negligence led to your injuries, you deserve compensation.

Injuries can be life-changing, whiplash, broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and internal bleeding are all common. Some injuries don’t show symptoms right away, which is why seeing a doctor immediately after a crash is critical.

Never accept the first offer from an insurance company. Adjusters are trained to settle fast and settle low. Before you sign anything, talk to a Phoong Law car accident attorney who can evaluate what your case is truly worth.

🚲

Cyclist Rights

Bicycles are legal vehicles. Drivers must share the road and are liable when they don’t.

🩺

High Injury Risk

Without vehicle protection, even minor collisions can cause catastrophic injuries to cyclists.

💰

No Cost to You

We handle your case on contingency. There’s no fee unless we secure compensation for you.

⚖️

Partial Fault OK

You may still recover damages even if you were partially at fault under comparative negligence laws.

Types of Bicycle Accident Cases We Handle

🔄

Left-Turn Crashes

A driver turns left across a cyclist’s path, the single most common cause of fatal bicycle accidents. The motorist almost always bears fault.

🚗

Dooring Incidents

A parked driver swings their door open into the bike lane without looking. The impact can throw a cyclist into traffic.

🛣️

Intersection Collisions

Busy intersections are danger zones for cyclists. Drivers who run red lights, roll through stops, or fail to yield cause serious crashes.

🚧

Unsafe Passing

Drivers who pass too closely or cut off cyclists violate safe-passing laws and put riders at extreme risk of injury.

🏎️

Hit-and-Run Cycling Crashes

Hit-and-runs against cyclists are alarmingly common. Uninsured motorist coverage and witness evidence become critical to your case.

🚪

Road Defect Accidents

Cracked pavement, missing signage, and poorly maintained bike lanes can cause serious wrecks. Government entities may be held responsible.
